This is a different and clear error message. I'd be interested to
know what platform/Tcl version this occured with. There was a minor
bug fixed for BSD platforms in the Tcl layer where reads on a channel
could cause an error like that which could have been handled at the
C layer but were not (but they are now for 8.4+, perhaps even 8.3.5).
